I said: "in a war in which millions lost their lives in
warfare that had nothing to do with computers
whatsoever".

Which is true.

That doesn't mean nobody did marvelous technology at
some lab, and that said technology didn't play a
role. Everything anyone did during the entire war
effort of course played some role, just not close to as
big as many of you seem to think.

Better guns, tanks, airplanes and so on, as well as
the methods to produce, transport and maintain them at
a huge scale, were many, many times as important if
you'd like to discuss how advances in technology
impacted the war.
